This is an oxcart. When driving in the rural parts of this country you actually may see a farmer with his oxen and a beautifully decorated cart. Way back when this was how the coffee growers would transport their coffee to the city for market. The differences in the art and paintings on the cart would distinguish from where it came.
Today to satisfy the tourists one can find these beautifully painted replicas in all sizes. In the city of Sarchi one can get their picture taken in front of a huge cart, over-sized to the max situated right in the center of town.
Absolutely beautiful. Also in Sarchi one can watch the artists paint in this beautiful style. Simply beautiful.
